Rangaka, who is a graduate of Rhodes University and the AAA School of Advertising, has spent 21 years in the industry at FCB and Ogilvy. He recently bid farewell to Ogilvy Cape Town and relocated back to Johannesburg.
Rangaka takes over from Ahmed Tilly, who is leaving FCB Joburg to pursue other opportunities after three years with the agency. During his tenure at Ogilvy, Rangaka has led creative teams behind some of the group's most memorable work, including that with global brands such as:
- Volkswagen
- Audi
- ABINBEV
- KFC
- Coca-Cola, and
- Mondelez.
Rangaka is the recipient of numerous creative awards, including a
Cannes Grand Prix, One Show and
D&AD Pencils. He has also sat on the executive committee of the Creative Circle and has served as chair of the
Loerie Awards. He has additionally been on various other industry boards.
Group managing director of FCB Joburg and Hellocomputer Johannesburg Thabang Skwambane says, "Ahmed has imbued our work with a real sense of relevance for the South African market; he has unselfishly nurtured many exceptionally talented young people."
"We are grateful that he chose to spend a chapter of his journey at FCB for the last three years and we're sad he is leaving us, but we wish him the best of success in the next chapter of journey. That said, we are exceptionally excited to welcome Tseliso, who has been an inspiration to so many in the industry since he started his career at FCB and throughout his journey at Ogilvy," adds Skwambane.
"His commitment to pushing creative boundaries and making a positive impact in the South African marketplace resonates deeply with FCB Joburg's values. I'm convinced he'll take the agency's already strong creative team to new heights and [we] can't wait to reap the rewards of his strong work ethic and understanding of what it takes to create truly iconic South African work," concludes Skwambane.
